Introduction to the Game
--------------------------
Road Trip a Racing/RPG/Adventure for the Playstation 2. Road Trip is part of
a popular game series in Japan known as Choro Q. Over twenty of these games
have been made and sadly, only a few have left Japan. Road Trip in Japan is
Choro Q HG 2 and is not only one of the best localized Choro Q games, but one
of the best games for PS2. Unfortunately, despite this, Road Trip will be
overlooked because of it's cover, which leads you to believe it's just
another cutesy racing game. So go on and convince your friends to buy Road
Trip. Hopefully it sells well enough for them to bring another one overseas!
Introduction to the Walkthrough
---------------------------------
Most of this walkthrough is for the Adventure Game, but I included a section
for the quick race and 2-Player modes as well in Chapter XI. Since Road Trip
is a completely open-ended game, it's difficult for me to prescribe one path
you should play. If I told you to do this and then that, it would take a lot
of the fun away. There are some events that you should probably do before
others, and those are listed in the Quick Walkthrough section. Other than
that, this is mainly a guide to help you out with the various aspects of the
game in parts instead of a whole. This also makes for quicker and smarter
navigation of the guide. If you have any questions at all, feel free to
email me: (kaji@surewest.net) With that said, good luck and most importantly,
have fun!

/ /\ \ / /
/_/ \_\ /_/
================
[R03] Controls
----------------
These are the default game controls for Road Trip. They can be changed in
the menu.
Car Controls:
Steer- Directional Buttons or Left Analog Stick
Accelerate- X
Brake- Square
Reverse- Circle
Change View- Triangle
Start- Menu (Pauses game during race)
Select- Zoom in/out Radar Display
Wing Up- L1
Wing Down- L2
Jet Engine- R2
Horn- R1
Menu/Dialog Controls:
Enter- X and Circle
Cancel- Square and Triangle
======================
[R04] Screen Display
----------------------
Map Radar: You can check your position on the map with the map radar in the
bottom left portion of your screen. Part of the Map Radar will flash green
when you have a new email. Here's how to read the Map Radar...
-Green Dots: Other Vehicles
-Black Dots: Quick Pic Shops
-Brown Dots: Houses
-Blue Dots: Q's Factory
Speedometer: The speedometer is in the bottom right portion of your screen.
It has many important features:
-RPMs: The numbers around the outside of the speedometer show your RPMs.
-Fuel: On the right side of the speedometer is the fuel display. It will
decrease as you drive and eventually blink and run out, making your car
drive very slowly. Entering any building will fill up your tank again
automatically. Beware, engines with a higher energy rating eat up fuel
quickly. The same goes for using the Jet Engine.
-Gear: On the left of the fuel display is a number that displays your
current gear.
-Speed: The large number on the bottom next to "mph" is your speedometer.
This displays your current speed in Miles Per Hour (mph).
-Time: At the very bottom of the speedometer is a clock. The number shows
what time it is in 24 hour time. (that is: 22:16, instead of 10:16 PM)
The picture on the left is a visual display of the time.
==================
[R05] Game Modes
------------------
From the title screen when you turn on your game you have 5 Choices:
Adventure: Most of this guide contains info on adventure mode. It is the
primary mode in Road Trip. You can choose New Game to start a new game, or
Continue to resume from a previous save.
Quick Race: Like it sounds. Pick a course a race.
2 Player: Only appears if two controllers are plugged in to the PS2 If you and
a friend both have saves on separate memory cards, you can pit your cars
against each other in a number of different modes including:
Options: Change Vibration, Speaker and Sound Settings.
Results: Check your standings in a variety of different races such as
Endurance Run and Tin Raceway. Not really useful unless you want to see
your times without entering the game.
============
[R06] Menu
------------
Pressing START will bring up the main menu while playing. This menu will not
appear while inside a building.

It also includes your scores on some mini-games.
Radio: Choose from two available radio stations. Channel 1 is Peach FM and
has songs with vocals. Station 2 is E-Radio which is just music and I
this is what I have mine set to. You can choose off if you don't wish to
listen to music. Pressing Up on the D-Pad increases the volume and
pressing Down on the D-Pad decreases the volume.
Items: In the upper right corner is your money display. Below that are some
important stats including mileage and Choro Q Coins collected. Also listed

Population: Number of inhabitants in location not including Quick-Pic Shops.
Hierarchy: Where a location appears on your Warp list in the menu.
Rating: More stars means more to see and do in the city and/or it's overall
importance to the game. Don't take this literally, it's just my opinion.
==================
[R09] Peach Town
------------------
"Town full of peach trees"
Population: Over 25
Hierarchy: 2
Races: Peach Raceway, Peach Raceway II
Teammates: 12
Rating: 4 Stars
Description: Peach Town is the city you'll start your game in. It offers a
limited selection of parts, but the races here are the fastest way to make
money in the first half of the game. Peach Town also has a large number of
good teammates to choose from, which will be invaluable early on.
=================
[R09] Fuji City
-----------------
"City has a big castle"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 3
Races: Ninja Temple Raceway, Temple Raceway
Teammates:
Rating: 4 Stars
Fuji City is by far my favorite city to look at, especially from the
mountaintop viewpoint. It has a decent selection of parts, some excellent
teammates and a variety of things to do. Fuji City also contains one of the
most frustrating aspects in the game: The Dreaded Maze. You may make it
through once, but under 3 minutes is near impossible without a guide.
Luckily for you, I sat down with some graph paper and mapped out the maze.
Here's the link:
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/road_trip_fuji_treasure_maze.gif
===============
[R10] My City
---------------
"Your own city to develop"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 10
Races: Endurance Run, Q's Rally
Teammates:
Rating: 5 Stars
My City is the most useful and complete city in the game. Basically, you
tell people about your town, and they'll move there and open up all kinds of
houses and shops. It has everything you'll need and will eventually become
the hub for all activities and purchases in the game. It contains My Garage
and innumerable mini-games and teammates. Plus, it's fun to watch your town
grow and develop.
My City Inhabitants:
--------------------------------------------------
Name | Where They're Found

=================
[R11] My Garage
-----------------
"Warp to your garage anytime"
Population: N/A
Hierarchy: 1
Races: N/A
Rating: N/A
While your garage isn't a city, it's a very important location that you'll no
doubt visit very often. It contains your email, wall patterns and lets you
pick from a list of minigames you've encountered during your adventure.
=================
[R12] Sandpolis
-----------------
"City of glaring neon lights"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 4
Races: Desert Raceway, Night Glow Raceway
Rating: 4 Stars
Sandpolis is the first big city you'll find on your adventure. It's packed
with places to see and things to do, most importantly of which is the soccer
mini-game. While you may find it easy to beat the computer, playing soccer
against your friends is a blast. It can't be overstated; this is a big city.
It may take you a while to find all of the houses here.
=======================
[R13] Chestnut Canyon
-----------------------
"City of steep rocky valleys"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 5
Races: Miner 49er Raceway, Lava Run Raceway
Rating: 2 Stars
Chestnut Canyon is a small village built on a range of mountain cliffs.
There's not much to do here, but you can create a personal greeting that the
townspeople here will use, which is kind of cool. Mine was "sup".
=====================
[R14] Mushroom Road
---------------------
"Mushroom grows around the road"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 6
Races: River Raceway, Slick Track, Oval Raceway
Rating: 1 Star
This small niche city contains only a few things, namely golf and a lake
goddess, but no cars! Maybe it's just me, but the goddess reminds me of the
waterfall fairy in Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Anyways, the parts
shop sells good tires, and there are three different races, but other than
that, there's not much to do here.
======================
[R15] White Mountain
----------------------
"Mountain covered with snow"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 7
Races: Snow Mountain Raceway
Rating: 5 Stars
White Mountain is another large city that will take you quite a while to see.
Marvel at the ski jump, practice curling and don't forget to be good for
Santa. Yes, White Mountain has it all and a bag of chips. Here you'll find
a plethora of teammates and useful parts, as well as some useful items such
as the invaluable Coin Radar.
=====================
[R16] Papaya Island
---------------------
"Island with natural beauty"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 8
Races: Sunny Beach Raceway, Lagoon Raceway
Rating: 4 Stars
When you're all stressed out from racing, take a relaxing vacation on the
beaches of beautiful Papaya Island. Here you'll find exotic locales, as well
as special parts and mini-games. Enjoy waterskiing and fishing in this
island paradise. And when you're all rested up, catch a rainbow to Cloud
Hill, the home of the president.
==================
[R17] Cloud Hill
------------------
"Floating island with rainbow"
Population: ???
Hierarchy: 9
Races: Tin Raceway
Rating: 3/4 Stars
Cloud Hill feels like an exclusive member's club in the sky. Certain items
and areas won't be available until you complete almost everything in the
game. But available right off the bat are some excellent teammates, great
parts and cool bodies.
========================
[R18] Other Locations
------------------------
Windmills, Underwater Ruins, Grand Ocean
Population: N/A
Hierarchy: N/A
Races: N/A
Rating: N/A
These locations are more scenic than anything, but they do provide you with a
few stamps. I've explored the ocean for hours and found no hidden secrets.

Road Trip is not a straightforward game and therefore has no "one way" to
beat this game, here are a few different styles of play to try:
==================
[R37] Strategies
------------------
Quick Start
-------------
This is a mini-guide on how to get on your feet quickly in Road Trip and
start raking in the cash.
Start up a new game. Enter your name and your currency. I picked:
Name: Steven
Currency: $
After listening to the president talk, leave the Q's Factory and enter the
Parts Shop, left of the factory. You have $1000 to spend. Buy the Quick
Steering Wheel and the Panther Engine. These are the best parts you can get
right now. Once you buy the parts, leave the shop, head southeast until you
see a house on your left with a Coffee sign. Enter the building and accept
the offer. You now earn $10 for every mile you drive. To claim your money,
simply return to the coffee shop. Go back to the Q's Factory and equip the
parts. Now enter the Peach Raceway race and win 1st place two times, for a
total of $600. Now head southeast following the signs that say Next City.
Eventually you'll cross a bridge. Now you're in Fuji City
Enter the Q's Factory on the left side of the road. Exit the factory and go
to the parts shop. Buy a Light Chassis. Now find the Noodle Shop where
you'll get a new billboard. Go back to the Q's Factory and equip it and
your chassis. Now enter the Ninja Temple Raceway race and win it. Once
again, follow the Next City signs and get on the freeway. Take off on the
My City exit on the left.
Drive into the black and white building that says Wonder Realty. Answer yes,
and you're now given a garage and the task of building a city. By talking to
certain cars, you can send them to this city and they'll build houses in it.
You'll also have a fan club. (If not, warp to Peach Town and win another
race) Now by talking to the cars listed in the Teammates section of this
guide, you can recruit cars to your racing team.
I suggest you warp back to Peach Town, recruit two teammates, get some stamps
and race some more. Don't forget to stop in the coffee shop and pick up your
money. The sky's the limit and you've only just begun your journey!
Good luck!
Mixed Bag
-----------
Don't spend too much time doing one thing. Vary your gameplay to keep from
getting bored. This is the most enjoyable way to play. Just have fun, race
a little bit, do some adventuring, take some pictures. Move on to the next
town when you get tired of the one you're in. It should feel natural to you.
Coin Crazy
------------
If you want coins and nothing but, here's a suggestion: begin following the
Choro Q coin guide and find as many as you can as early as you can. You'll
get the great Big Tires after only 50 coins giving you a big head start on
the game.
Adventurer
------------
Forget racing, you want to see the world! Journey around and complete stamps
and build a good collection of parts from gifts. This is very beneficial
earlier in the game. Refer to the Stamps part of this walkthrough for help
on adventuring.
Speed Demon
-------------
Adventuring is tedious and boring to you. You just wanna race. My
suggestion is to spend more money on upgrade parts and less on looks.
Scrapbook
-----------
You can go to almost every Quick-Pic from the very start of the game. It's
almost useless considering there's no prize and just one stamp for getting
all 100 pictures, but if you just like to kick back and travel, play this
style.
====================
[R38] Money-Making
--------------------
I really only suggest a serious money-making plan for after you've beat the
game once. Sometimes having all the best stuff right away takes the fun out
of things. And by that time you should have a good idea how do it. Here's
a strategy that everyone should use, regardless of how much they've played.
Sign Bearer
-------------
Wear billboards everywhere you go and start building some revenue. I wear
billboards throughout the entire game. They don't look good, but they
provide a constant stream of cash.

- The person who needs the magazine gives you a hero card. There's a person
in Sandpolis (I believe, in a house) Who collects cards and gives you a
cute doll. You give the cute doll to the Semi in Chestnut Canyon(Circuits
around the Q factory), who in turn gives you some Japanese Relief. After
getting the relief go to the oriental town and see the actor (in a house),
the actor in turn gives you his autograph. Go up to White Mountain and
give the autograph to the SUV circuiting around the frozen lake; she gives
you a rice ball. Up to Cloud City to give the Black and white Acura
outside the Parts Shop the rice ball and he gives you a Canary Flute. Go
to Papaya Island and give the flute to the Green and Brown Cosmo on the
small island, he gives you a magazine. Then back to Peach Town to give
the magazine and claim your just reward. (Thanks To: Spider Like Person)
8. Gave a big peach to James!
- Take the road that goes north of Peach Town until you get to the river.
Off to the left of the road is a large tree with peaches on it. Run into
the tree to knock a peach into the river. Simply drive up to the floating
peach to collect it. Then follow the road back towards Peach Town and
talk to James (Silver Porsche). He usually rides around this road and the
Ranch.

Once you play a minigame, it is accessible via the Go Play menu in My Garage.
Here's some info and tips on playing each of the minigames in Road Trip.
Sliding Door Race
-------------------
Location: Fuji City
Difficulty: ***
Rules: At the start signal, start driving. The doors will open up as you
approach them. Whoever stops closest to the edge is the winner! You
won't see the goal until the door slides open!
Highway Race
--------------
Location: Fuji City
Difficulty: **
Rules: Race at the clover shaped highway junction. Whoever makes 1 lap first
wins. The roads are complicated so pay attention.
Drag Race
-----------
Location: Sandpolis
Difficulty: **
Rules: It's a 400-meter track. Whoever crosses the line first wins.
Tunnel Race
-------------
Location: My City
Difficulty: **
Rules: Whoever completes a single lap with the machines that have the same
color and the same performance wins.
Beach Flag
------------
Location: Papaya Island
Difficulty: **
Rules: Beach flag is a 2-player game. You compete for speed and timing. You
wait with your back towards the flag. When you hear the start signal,
make a U-turn and GO. Whoever gets the flag below the gate first wins.
Single Lap Race
-----------------
Location: Cloud Hill
Difficulty: ***
Rules: This city is the racing course. There will be only 1 lap, so pay
attention! The race ends if you fall off the course.
Treasure Hunting Maze

Location: Fuji City
Difficulty: ****
Rules: Get to the goal in 3 minutes.
I made a picture of the maze. The path is correct, but I haven't explored
all the dead-ends. Use the link:
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/road_trip_fuji_treasure_maze.gif
Rock Climbing
---------------
Location: Chestnut Canyon
Difficulty: ***
Rules: The rocky mountain is very steep. So you will not be able to climb so
easily. Find the route you can climb. Climb in 2 minutes.
Golf
------
Location: Mushroom Way
Difficulty: ***
Rules: There are a total of 9 holes. Hit the ball by bumping into it, and
Try to knock it into the hole. All you have to do is drop the ball
into each hole. Try to finish the course within or under the par.
Par is a certain number of golf strokes for each hole.
Roulette
----------
Location: Sandpolis
Difficulty: N/A
Rules: Pick where you want to bet. Enter the amount of your wager. You'll
jump in the roulette in place of the ball. If you win, you get money.
Figure 8
----------
Location: Sandpolis
Difficulty: ****
Rules: There are 5 steps in all. Before the start, check a route. Aim for
the goal, following the determined route. 5 seconds will be added
to your time for each cone you touch so please be careful.
Soccer
--------
Location: Sandpolis
Difficulty: **
Rules: It is a 3-on-3 format. Whoever scores 3 points first wins. You'll be
teamed with your racing teammates, so having good parts can be a
benefit.
Rainbow Jump
--------------
Location: Cloud Hill
Difficulty: *****
Rules: When you hear the start signal, choose the best position to
accelerate! From there, accelerate and jump! Can you land on the
floating island? Don't fall short or go too far!

Difficulty: ***
Rules: The course has many obstacles and jumps. Aim for the goal. You'll
have to retire if you fall off a cliff or a waterfall.
Which-way? Race
-----------------
Location: My City
Difficulty: ***
Rules: Remember the combination of colors on the color plates that appear
while you drive along the course. They will lead you the right way
when the road separates. Choose the road you think is the correct
match. If you get it right, the course continues. You need to
correctly choose all five roads within their time limit. Concentrate!
Volcano Course
----------------
Location: Chestnut Canyon
Difficulty: *****
Rules: You have to make it to the toolbox in 1 minute 10 seconds! Don't fall!
Curling

cross the line your gas pedal and brake will not work. Steer yourself
into the circle, as close to the bullseye as possible. Scores are:
Red= 10 Points / White= 20 points /
Blue= 50 points / Yellow= 100 points
You can slide three times, and the total score of those slides will be
Your score.
Barrel Dodging

Rules: Grandpa Tal's barrels will come rolling down the hill. You must dodge
the barrels to get to Grandpa Tal's house. The white line is the goal.

ramp to where you land will be your score. Try jumping as far as you
can.
Fishing

- This guide update wouldn't be possible without his help. I encountered
some crazy formatting errors that I wasn't able to fix, and this guy
made it happen. He volunteered immediately and made numerous changes
to the format of the guide. I greatly appreciate the help. Thanks so much!
Reverend Jim
- Special thanks for his numerous contributions, including nearly all of the
teammate section, for continued support of the guide and for his tireless
efforts on the Road Trip Message Boards. His support is greatly appreciated
and I can honestly say he shaved about 3 weeks off the production time of
this guide.

nearly found them all. Thanks a million!
